prise Secures alsplendid Bill Of Health.
There are in ATTENDANCE on the American
Public Health AsocatOn many OF the
most noted sanitarians in this country and
in Canada- They have come here to dis
cuss sanitary matter concerning the whole
country, and, in addition to it, have shown
a marked interest IN the health status OF
Memphis and her equipment in sewers
and drainage. A large number OF them
have personally inspected the sewers and
pronounced the system good. 1t was the
intention OF propoundng to all oil them
the question rs TO what they thought oil
Memphis, but the limited time would not
permit.
DIR. ID. G. Jones, Topeka, Kas. From
sanitary point of view, think that Mem
phis has as fine system Of sewerage as
can be found in any city in the country.
From a business standpoint, ] must say
am surprised beyond all the reports have
heard Of its prosperity. Memphis is GER
tainly destined 10 be the leading CONNER
cial center of the south, and more hos
pitablc people il has never been my good
fortune to-meet. This is certalnlya very
pleasant city to live IN
DIR. Rauch, Of Chicago know great
deal about Memphis, for have been here
frequently in recent years, and have closely
watched the city from a sanitary stand
point. There is no question about the
future greatness OF Memphis II II keeps up
its excellent system OF sanitation.
DIR. II. ). Goodwin Of the Connecticut
State board Of health am very favor
ably impressed with the beautiful and
thrifty city Of Memphis. The system OF
sewerage which / have studied and in
spectcd, seems TO me well nigh perfect.
In my opinion Memphis is the model city
of the south 40 far as practical sanitary i'm
proycment is concerned.
DIR. :. :. kilyingtOn, president state
board of health, Minnesota am very
agreenbly surprised to find Memphis in as
good fix as il IL, after what she has passed
through within the last decade. Her 70.
cuperation Is simply wonderful While
thought that there were no other cities
Ike Minneapolis and 81. Paul-tha il,
equal to their growth and development IN
push and energy must confess that
looking nj Memphis from the trials she
has passed through, her residents deserve
the highest commentator for the sacrl'
fees and efforts they have made in build
ing II mp To its present grand proportion,
from the remains of an almost dcpopulated
and dosOlatc town. | have looked closely
into It's sanitary condition and think II eN
cellcnt The Board Of health here deserve
great credit
DIR. J. +. KenneIy, secretary board o
health Of Iowa This is my first visit I,
Memphis, and Leah say, without the lcas
reservation, that I am delighted with hcl
people. They iinpress me rs being thor
oughly busincss.likq. ! also took the pains
